Why
do we have so many movies of Strider here? Because we like
it.
Strider
2 Movies
Anti-Grav
MPEG - 1.0 MB
Walk
on the ceiling, hang from the floor.
Armored
Guard MPEG - 1.1 MB
The
Boost powerup, making boss encounters a cinch since 1978.
Note, off in the background, the guards with mortars trying
to draw a bead on you.
Bridge
MPEG - 1.1 MB
A twist
on the classic downhill run, here you get to be chased down
by a gigantic bulldozer across a mine-laden drawbridge.
Dullahan
MPEG - 1.8 MB
A nifty
teleporting, sword-wielding, skull-summoning boss enemy.
Metall
Hengst MPEG - 2.9 MB
The
curse of many an enthusiastic E3-goer, who had a moment
to admire the nifty 3D castle backgrounds before being slaughtered
by this fellow. The game seems to have received a bit of
tuning since then, thankfully.
Hopping
About MPEG - 1.6 MB
You
can jump farther than you think thanks to Hiryu's climbing
claws, which particularly come in handy when you're attacking
the aerial battleship in mission 4.
Perspective...
MPEG - 1.3 MB
Strider
2's 3D presentation allows the game to occasionally do some
fun stuff with its camera - for example, here it pulls back
to display a nice-looking vista and a gigantic boss.
Herzog
Schlange MPEG - 4.5 MB
One
of the game's most impressive bosses is this massive, Hydra-esque
creation, directed by the eponymous cackling duke.
Relative
Gravity MPEG - 1.9 MB
Another
fun moment, where you can hop up from the ceiling and employ
your double jump to switch directions in midair.

Black
Strider MPEG - 2.0 MB
Yes,
the little-known Dark Hiryu, made possible by a handy color-edit
feature.
The
walls are closin' in... MPEG - 1.8 MB
A classic
action moment.
Cyborg
Kong MPEG - 1.2 MB
Yep,
you know who we mean, the deadly android ape boss. Still
a classic design.
Then
And Now Movies
Some
moments have been revisited in both games - the combination
package means you can check out both, and compare inspiration
to recreation.
Downhill
Run Then MPEG - 1.3 MB
Downhill Run
Now MPEG - 1.2 MB
Chased
by gunfire, nowhere to go, and then a flying leap...
Gravity
Core Then MPEG - 1.4 MB
Gravity Core
Now MPEG - 1.7 MB
It's
a great concept either way, but I rather prefer the original
orbit myself. In some ways, I suppose, they'll never be
able to top the classics.

Sorry
for not having any yesterday - this should make up for that.
